Fire pits are HOT hardscaping in 2016!
The New Year is here! Are you already thinking ahead about how you are going to transform your outdoor space this year? It may be winter (though it certainly does not feel like it) and you can never begin planning too soon! There are so many exciting things you can do with your outdoor space including landscaping, hardscaping and implementing simple or intricate garden elements. Curious about what the landscaping trends will be in 2016? We have some ideas.
Color
It is said that in 2016, people will start desiring more color out of their structures. Commonly, homes and hardscaping features like fencing are white, brown or gray. Instead, the forecast suggests that people will start to paint their fences dark green or blue and paint their homes dark navy or black. This would accentuate the surrounding garden area.
Outdoor Living Space
You might traditionally think of kitchens, fireplaces, and lounge areas being inside your home. However, it is very possible to have all of these elements functioning outside of your home. Hardscaping options like outdoor kitchens and firepits are becoming increasingly popular in outdoor design. Implementing these features allows for increased opportunity for outdoor socializing, entertaining and cooking! Fire pits come in several designs but round, rectangular and portable designs are most popular.
Lighting
Outdoor lighting is essential to enjoying your space with no limitations. LED lights are changing the game in 2016 with long term energy savings and convenient abilities to in some cases control lighting from devices like your smartphone. Dim blue and green lighting can also really accentuate your garden at night. String lighting (like that you’d see on a quaint cafe patio) is also becoming increasingly popular.
